September 11th, 2001 was a real inflection point for the US. We, collectively decided that civil rights aren't as important as revenge.

sept 11 was the first time the republicans had the chance to seize the opportunity to put america on track for its fascist fourth reichdom fantasy.

The overwhelming majority of Democrats also voted for the Patriot Act. Democrats and Republicans are two sides of the same coin.

The terrorists ended up winning the long game in the end. They caused America to tear itself apart from within and made it a pariah on the world stage.

9/11 also marks the end of western hegemony as the West destabilized the world and ruined its reputation as a force for good in its pursuit for revenge, leading to the rise of BRICS and other anti-imperial coalitions.

9/11 also coincides with peak imperialism, the final stage of capitalism, which marks the point when increasing exploitation abroad has diminishing returns so capitalists must begin devouring the imperial core, leading to stagflation, enshittification, rent-seeking, and other parasitic activities. This in turn leads to an economically struggling population of former petit-bourgeois, which is a class condition that is especially susceptible to reactionary propaganda, leading to the rise of fascism.

Historians will almost certainly mark 9/11 as the beginning of the end of the American Empire.
